Meanwhile, former President Trump also made a trip to the NYC area today. Not Manhattan; Long Island. He was attending the Wake of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller. The first NYPD officer killed in the line of duty since 2022. Diller was killed by a 21 time arrested, career criminal who had a shank in his rectum when he was ultimately picked up by police, planning for his next stay in prison.
Our other three Presidents, past and present, will not be attending the Wake or funeral. President Biden plans to visit Baltimore, but has not yet. He can be forgiven, it is a full 1 hour by car from the White House."
So was your objective to make the most stupid and meaningless post ever, because if so you came pretty close...
So that brings to ONE, I repeat ONE funeral Trump has attended for a cop killed in the line of duty since 2018...
Why do you imagine that is? So from at least 2018 thru 2020 190 officers died from gunshots. Guess how many of THOSE funerals Rump attended? The answer as anyone with a brain knows is ZERO...
So from 2018 thru 2020 (Under Trump) 197 officers were killed by gunfire. And from 2021-2023 under Biden 187 officers were killed by gunfire. I took 3 years for both, didn't count 2017 against Trump and we don't know about 2024.
But we do know that Trump attended ZERO officers funerals while he was POTUS, but of course made sure to try and score political points with the cult by attending THIS particular funeral. In all honesty Trump attending zero funerals while he was POTUS isn't unusual. It's not something that a POTUS usually does. Which is why Biden not attending any officer funerals during his Presidency (just like Trump) is not nearly as big a deal as Fox would have the ignorant believe...
But here's my question... In the final two years of Trump's presidency 96 of those shooting deaths for officers were in Texas, with NY having 68. And in the years 2021-2022 (under Biden) Texas again led with 139 and FL had 60...In fact in the single year of 2021 FL had 60 deaths, and that was just 8 less than the NY total of 68 from 2018-2020.

So why do states like TX and FL lead the nation nearly every year in officer shootings? No mention of anti-gun bastions like CA or DC, but in the Biden years it's TX and FL leading the way. Why would you say that is?
